It was a dark winter morning when I found myself sitting in my headmaster’s office. She was looking at me in disbelief, repeating the same question she already asked a moment ago:
Last month I started a 30-Day Writing Challenge, with the goal to publish an essay on X, every day. These are the 10 lessons I've learned.
The next Ship 30 for 30 cohort set sail and I didn’t get on board. Which was my own fault entirely. I was still too afraid to start writing online, even though I wanted to do so for a while.
“I guess I’m just not the creative type.” Bullsh*t. There’s nothing making me angrier than this statement. I hear it far too often from friends and family and read it on a daily on social media.
Nobody wants to create something objectively bad. I have to remind myself of that every now and then. I get easily discouraged by looking at other people’s creations and comparing them to mine.
There is lots of good advice on the internet on how to build and run a successful business. But sometimes I get a little bit too distracted and lose sight of what's actually important.
Most of my everyday actions come from the many habits I’ve adopted over the years. One way or another, they're all contributing to the vision I have for my life, bringing me closer to it one day at a time.
Is it too late to start working for yourself in 2023? The short answer is obviously: No, it isn’t too late. But I get it, it feels hard to keep up with everything happening so fast in our world today.
“You have a $100,000 product in your head.” It was at the end of 2022 when I first stumbled upon that sentence, while aimlessly browsing through the web.
Nobody knows what they’re doing. At best, they’re making well-informed decisions based on their own experience. But even then, there is no guarantee or hard evidence for anything.
My first experience with coding was pretty bad. It was way back, during my IT apprenticeship. I don't remember the exact name of the module but it was an introduction to programming with Java.
